Leaving comments on a game

[pinkyandthebrain]

I have no objections to getting red thumbs from players who feel frustrated on my no abandon Hanabi stance. If over inflating and faking their elo makes them happy so be it. However why does this then mean you can't leave comments about a game? In a recent game in the chat they were surprised that after 5000 games I didn't mitigate for a double discard - to be honest I find it a waste of clues when I get someone blank cluing continually, usually ends up with blocked hands and again someone asking to abandon (I know, simple solution is to stop playing 2 player!). As they had looked at my profile I decided to examine theirs after the game. I wished to highlight they had abandoned 35% of all games compared to under 2% for me (ie just dropped connections or someone having an emergency) so were not really in a place to criticise expertise. However I didn't realise that you can't comment publicly on the game if they RT you. Fair enough if you can't PM someone who RTs you as that protects against harassment etc. but a comment on a game has to be transparent as it is there for all to see. I really do feel like some people are cheating the elo system and getting no recourse. I wonder if a negative elo hit given for abandoned parties would stop this over inflation of ELO in Hanabi and make people strive for the best score in a hard challenging deal rather than seek or the easier 30s.

I also was unable to look at their games between a certain time frame. From the ELO profile they had plateaued for a bit then steeply climbed to above 1000 and was interested to look at that month but got those unexpected error red banner messages.

Re unability to look at certain games: I happen to get errors on certain games / timerames of games in replays too, I wouldn't think there is something big behind it, just some bug regarding different app versions between replays and current website, maybe trying to look when there is a little fix in deploy. Sometimes looking at these tables later lets you replay it.

Re leaving comments on a game as a public part of the site, I think I rather agree it would be nice to be able to comment it. However I can imagine it also as a protective tool because when a player realize he can't get to you any other way, he can start trolling on your games comments. Maybe a solution would be to allow comment on your own games, even when the other player RT you (but that would stop trolls, at least on another games than the one that led to RT).
